The two helmers reported having interviewed real-life conspirators, known as “The Avengers”, and described their film as “a gripping true story that deals with the most primal and natural human instinct – pure revenge”, giving “the audience a new perspective about the Holocaust” and confronting “powerful feelings of revenge, justice and morality”.
